THE SELLING OF CABLE.



Place this Understanding of the
History of the Case.
The Peoria journal contains the fol>
lowing concerning the selling of
the town of Cable, which is to take
place this week in compliance with an
order of court, as heretofore described in
the ARGUS;
| The curtain rises on the lsst act in the
great Eliis-Sisson mill drama this week.
George X. Beasley, attorney at law of this
city and special master appointed to sell,
goes up to the town of Cable, in Mercer
county, this week. and will put
/ up the whole settlement and
knock it down to the highest bid
der under the hammer. This is done in ac-
cordsrce with final decision of the state
supreme court, which brought the suit to
its last ditch after career of over
quarter of century and hearings in most
every court in the land Ellis, the plain.
tiff, is still alive but is about beggared by
the litigation, but the balance of the
original parties to the suit are all of them
dust and ashes.
This famous case commenced when
"Old ABB" first came up for president.
II involved possession Of d mill stocked
with valuable machinery in Mercer county
and large tract of contiguous land.
The intricacies of the suit and its wonder
full history have been written up by
> every paper in the land at one time or
another, and it SO happens that the final
decision favors the man whom public
opinion seem TO declare in the right from
the very first. The mill and machinery
have long since gone to decay. They
were in good condition when the case
was transferred to the Peoria courts, but
are now of no great value. This land is,
however, valuable. The mining town of
r Cable stands upon and the title to every
, lot there is affected by the suit. The
Cables of Rock Islane one or more of
them became defendants in the suit a
number of years ago, and have been
, in practical possession of the property
ever since the town was built.
T. B. Ellis. the plaintiff. AS well as B l..
T. Sisson the original defendant, be-
longed originally to st. Louis, but is now
located in the southern part OF this state
He has had checkered career as a ma>
j., chinist and q hotel keeper, aud in Other
lines Of business. and il is questionable
if the property will sell for enough Il
, bring hIm very much. 1t is known though
G that the expenses of the suit were me
from time 10 time as it progressed IN thu
courts, and there Is not a great deal t
I he paid out new. The case passed

An extraordinary attraction will be at
Harper's theatre next Monday night in the
appearance of the leading star, Miss JEFF
freys Lewis. The San Francisco CAL
says of Miss Jeifreys Lewis:
Miss Jei1reys Lewis week at the Bald
win has been a rare treat to theatre goers.
Her personation of "Stephcnie De Mohri>
vart' gave more than glimpse TO lovers
of dramatic art what possibilities there
are in acting. and how many VINO attempt
to reach them are COMPOUNDED in the
| deed. Ii seems almost as if our stage
standard had been placed so low by the
incompeteDtS and amateurs thrust on the
public before their time, that the bril-,
| liant acting of of Miss Lewis was out of
place, for several, lulled by the namely
PANTY, sing>song style of actresses
of limited capacity complained that
they were disturbed by the light
ninglike vividness of Miss Lewis
method in portrayinG the adventures.
Many candidates for the favor of the
Muse lay their offerings on her altar, but
they remain cold, unnoticed and undis'
turbed When the true artistic comes, a;
ia this case, with votive gifts, they are
touched and illuminated by divine
spark from the Muse herself. The at
tendance was greater toward the close o'
the week than at the commencement
The public were awakened to the fact
that there was an actress IN the Baldwin
when the curtain dropped and hid hel
from sight 1t Is a pity Miss Lewis can
not secure permanent engagement 1t
this city instead of being forced to take
her chances in the country. 1t is SO re-
freshing 10 enjoy the result af talent, o.
study aud experience in the acting art in
stead of enduring tyros IN their wild
reaches after the uuaLtainable.
